Excerpt from Letters on the Immortality of the Soul: The Intermediate State of the Dead, and a Future Retribution
1 4th, If the soul is not immortal, and does not sufl'er in a disembodied state, it is certain there is a radical mistake in all the missionary projects of the present day. It -is not disputed, that all these projects receive their impetus from the be lief that the soul is immortal, and if not saved, must go into future endless misery at death. Ask any one of those, who rest not day nor night in begging money for missions, what makes him so very zealous - The answer is, 0, to save the immortal souls of the poor, perishing heathen. Who can blame them for their exertions in such a cause, if this doctrine be true? And is it not a disgrace to Universalists, who believe Mr. Hud son's system, not to exert themselves in attempt. Ing to save immortal souls? Indeed, his punish ment, in duration, looks so much like endless punishment, that they ought to be fellow work. Ers with our orthodox brethren in such a good cause. It will afford me sincere pleasure to see them remove such an inconsistency between their faith and practice, and wipe off this reproach. But if the soul/is not immortal, and does not ex ist in a disembodied state, much money, and zeal, and labor are spent to obtain a visionary object. This no man will dispute. All I ask then, is, that my views be candidly investigated, for if true they deeply interest the community. 5th, If the soul is not immortal, and does not suffer in a disembodied state, an end is put to much misery suffered by the human race. If I am correct m my opinions, an end is put to all the terror and misery which ghosts have occa.

Print-on-DemandAnbieter: Forgotten Books, London, Vereinigtes Königreich
Verkäuferbewertung 5 von 5 Sternen
Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book dives into a fundamental debate that has occupied theologians and philosophers for centuries: the question of the soul's immortality. The author, in a series of letters, presents a spirited challenge to the prevalent belief in an eternal soul, arguing that such a concept is not supported by scripture and was instead adopted from ancient Greek philosophy. The book's core argument hinges on the idea that the Bible focuses on a physical resurrection, not a disembodied soul's existence after death. The author further contends that the belief in a soul's punishment after death, particularly in an intermediate state, contributes to unnecessary fear and anxiety, and detracts from the importance of Christ's resurrection as the central tenet of Christianity. Through detailed examination of scriptural passages and historical analysis, the author offers a fresh perspective on a timeless debate, encouraging readers to reconsider the foundations of their beliefs and explore alternative understandings of life, death, and salvation. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 9780259213420_0
